Semua Bab Entangled Hearts: The Forbidden Bond: Bab 21 - Bab 30

ISLAI spent a larger part of the morning trying to make myself beautiful. I've never felt more excited to go to work. Everything felt colorful and right. Ever since Robert and I had sex, I'd become self conscious. I found myself spending more time than necessary having a bath, choosing a dress to wear, or even spending vain time picking out jeweleries. I began to pay extra attention to my appearance.I was going through the items I had in my purse when my phone rang. It was a call from Stiles. I mentally groaned, feeling frustrated at why I involved myself with him in the first place. I ignored the call, swiped a final application of mascara to my lash extensions. All the credit goes to my best friend. She sure taught me a whole lot.I looked at the mirror, a self satisfied smirk playing on my lips. It didn't matter if I didn't see Robert after he left the house on saturday and throughout the remaining part of the weekend. I was definitely going to see him at work. Throughout the rem

ISLAI finally got back to the mansion after long hours at work. I spent the majority of the time editing some documents Mia had forwarded to me via email. Somehow the she-devil had left me off her hook. That antagonizing woman didn't pressure me today, she didn't even show her vicious face in my office throughout the entire day. I couldn't help wondering if she was alright, it was unlike her not to cause trouble. As soon as work ended, I hurried back home without having to meet Robert first. I've noticed he never came back home immediately after work. I didn't know where he went, but I just guessed he had lots of things to take care of after work. Even if it broke my heart, I was getting accustomed to a whole lot of things about my boss and sweetheart. I checked the time. I mentally gave myself 30 minutes to prepare. I had to be gone before Robert showed up in the house. I wouldn't want to explain why I had to dress up in a formal evening dress to hang out with my best friend at her

ROBERT I didn't know when I became this vulnerable to my feelings. I had come to the mansion to pick something, and then I had seen Isla in that dress. A whole lot of memories flooded into my mind. Somehow, we were there again, at her parents thirtieth wedding anniversary. That was the first time I felt that desire for her. It was a very strong desire, one I didn't think I'd ever feel for any woman. She had looked so mesmerizing that for some good minutes, all my guards had been completely let down. I couldn't help to see a beautiful young woman that I would have a difficult time ignoring. These feelings were forbidden. She was Mason's daughter. A friend who took me as a brother. There had been a whole lot of time where we were in a formal gathering and Mason Turner would introduce me to business associates as his dear brother. Isla had earlier informed me of her plans to meet up with her best friend, but something within me felt insecure. Like I needed to know exactly who she was

ISLAI sat with my hands dropped on my thighs, twisting my fingers nervously. I hoped the ground would Somehow open up right there and swallow me completely. I felt my heart still pounding in my chest as Robert and Mia moved towards a nearby table. Robert didn’t even glance back at me as he walked away. I watched them sit down, Robert right across from Mia as she adjusted herself in that typical way of hers, trying to exude a sense of control. As I stole a quick glance at their table, I noticed something that made my stomach twist even tighter. The table had been reserved for Robert. I could see the initials 'R.H' printed on a small placard at the corner of the table. It felt like a punch to the gut. I hadn't only sneaked out to this party, I had come to also sit directly opposite his table. I wondered how I was going to survive the night with him sitting there, directly facing me. Whenever I raised my head up, I knew I was going to come directly with his piercing blue eyes.A shiver

ISLAI opened my eyes slowly to some unfamiliar voices talking around me. I wasn't sure who they were. I wasn't even sure where I was. It seemed I was lying on a bed that wasn't as soft or as comfortable as mine. A sharp pain shot through my head and I immediately had to snap my eyes shot with a soft gasp escaping my lips. I tried opening my eyes again, my vision seemed to have blurred out. A towering figure came hovering above me. I could make out the features, it was a man. He wore glasses and had a white coat on. I wondered who he was or what I was doing in this place.The question came to my head. "Where am I?"I've watched several movies where the lead character or probably a supporting character suddenly wakes up unconscious and they ask this same question. It turns out that they've either been knocked out of consciousness and had been brought to a hospital or they were dead. I preferred it to be the former.The thought that I could probably be in a dream hit me. Suddenly, I g
